    Vancouver, BC - Roll Call

    I guess I have, did almost 50 while in Utila, Honduras. Fantastic place for cheap diving...once you get there. Their ferry which is a tiny little thing and less than 30 mins, makes BC Ferries look cheap??? Unbelievable but costs $25 per person one way. Anyways check out some of the pics. Diving...

    NEED SOME HELP HERE - Looking for An Alternative to Utila

    Hi, My wife, sons & I were all poised to go to Utila to dive this March BUT unfortunately I guess because it is spring break in the US, everything is booked SO now I am looking for an alternative. Before I put anyone's nose out of joint, Roatan has always been out for us as we prefer places...

    Where To Dive In Hawaii In Jan?

    Hi, I am always looking for the most out of the way dive spots, which are both low on tourists and great for finding small operators who dive in small groups. Ok, throw in some real nice cheap hotels to stay and again away from the tourists, great. ie. Utila not Roatan in Honduras. Thx Curtis

    Dominican Republic

    Hi, I am actually in the DR for the week of Oct 25 - Nov 1 (business) but want to come and dive. I may or may not stay in Bayahibe but if I do I look for something small and not inclusive. Really do not care about hotel other than quiet, clean and close by dive places. Suggestions...

    Fiji - How Many Days? Where?

    Hi, This is actually an update to a post I made on Fiji Help (next Post) about suggestions and tips for Fiji (which I found many). We had booked only 5 days on the way to Australia but I can see by the posts and the fact that you really need more to move around from Kadavu to Traveuni to...

    Fiji Help

    Hi, I have read the posts and would appreciate suggestions about Beqa, Kadavu and Taveni. I will be diving (my wife and son will be snorkling - unless someone has a great teaching school on one of these - or he will wait until Australia). We have only 5 days, so we likely want to get...

    Belize resorts -- seeking advice

    We just did CC also - also dove with Belize (Oscar is awesome, but all of them are great). You can stay all the way from the new Iquana to little $30/d cabanas - take your pick. Lots of great restaurants (Habeneros is our fav but liked them all). No snorkeling but we still loved it...

    My first setup/ You're thoughts please.

    Like your choices - definitely on the Twin Jets (I have the Atomics and they are not worth the extra money) however on that note, I tried the Split fins in Belize and came home and bought them. Absolutely try them - I did not and went with Blades - which I will never use again (I have a hip...

    Suunto "Too Conservative" Issues

    First of all, no - I have it set on AO & PO (I learned this the hard way when I had somehow set it on A3 and blew a dive because it immediately went into deco) Thank you Genesis - this would explain the problem - especially given that at one point there is a huge drop in the Devil's Throat -...
